Text and Translation:

Bahihii waaliidkay dhaqay 
Biyihii Ceerigaaboodeey
Baxsan Daalaheediiyeey
Bilcaneey Calmadow culaneey
Beri mudan bil Soomaaleey  
Boggay igaga taalleey

Bisinkee bilicda lagu aragyoo 
Belaayada laga xijaabaayee
Haddaba buugga iyo waxbarashada
Bustena ugu dhiga ha bogatee

Beledsame bil Minasoota ah 
Beryo samo ku joognaaeey

- Ahmed Ismail Yusuf

Translation:
My parents’ origin land
Ceerigaabo’s unique spring water
The marvelous, main Daalo landscape
The gorgeous evergreen Cal-madow
And Somali’s peaceful past
These are in my heart and hold it firm

In the name of the gracefully affirmed
Who guards against all ill will
With books of all knowledge
Surround our students and give comfort.

But we are safe in Minnesota now
Safe and sound as a soul in a house could be

- Translation by Ahmed Ismail Yusuf
